As the Buccaneers get set to take on the Jets at home on Sunday, we here at Bucs Nation will dive into some picks and predictions for Tampa Bay’s big Week 3 home matchup while donning the 1976 uniforms.
Check it all out below.
Offense
Baker Mayfield put the game on his back this past Monday night in Houston, especially in the 4th quarter. But Mayfield didn’t use just his arm to get the Tampa Bay offense in position to win the game in the closing minute, he had one big scramble on 4th down that kept the drive alive which eventually resulted in the game-winning touchdown. So this week, with injuries across the offensive line, look for the Bucs to keep the Jets defense off balance with an impressive run game that will include at least 150 team rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.
Defense
Linebacker Lavonte David is playing at an incredibly high level. If you sit back and truly analyze his play just two games into this season, you will see that the 35-year-old is setting he tone for how the rest of the season is going to go. The 14-year veteran recorded a half sack and a near interception just off his hands in Houston this past week. There’s something brewing early on for this ageless wonder, so lets put David down for a sack and a forced fumble against New York this week.
Gil Arcia (2-0): Bucs 33, Jets 14
Mike Kiwak (2-0): Bucs 17, Jets 10
Evan Wanish (2-0): Bucs 20, Jets 17
Will Walsh (2-0): Bucs 23, Jets 15
